Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters Chapter 528: 367 I Will End Your Career2
Chapter 528: Chapter 367 I Will End Your Career_2
Having said that, Hughes once again resorted to his self-destructive defense.
It was oppressively effective against the ball but also granted Yu Fei a trendous amount of operational space.
Yu Fei pulled the ball back and changed direction, shaking the advancing Hughes off his feet. With the burst of a cheetah, he exploded toward the basket and slamd it in for a score.
Big Z spread his hands; he didn’t understand why the defense could get so bad. Even if you can’t stop your opponent, you should at least give the inside a chance to react. But Hughes’s defense crumbled upon contact, failing entirely to slow down the pace or the speed.
After dunking, Yu Fei imdiately turned to provoke LeBron Jas, “LeBron, your teammate wants to know why you’re too scared to guard . What are you afraid of?”
Jas’s gaze shifted to Hughes, but Hughes had already run off.
...
“I will grant your wish.” Jas knew he had no way out. “I have quite a score to settle with you.”
Which score is he referring to?
The one from their first encounter when he scored 49 points over you? The 70 points he dropped on you in the playoffs? The All-Star ga where he snatched the AMVP from you? The Eastern Conference Finals where he beat you to a pulp? Or the fact that he has never lost to you in his career?
There were too many scores to settle; he couldn’t be bothered to count them.
He was rely very interested in adding a new charge to Jas’s account.
On the defensive end, Yu Fei allowed Jas so space, forcing him to shoot.
For Jas, who had made 36% of his three-point shots that season, this was an opportunity. He needed to prove that he had honed his power over the sumr, that he was stronger than before.
Jas took a three-pointer, and it swished in.
One thing was certain; he certainly had not wasted his past sumr. His long-range stability had improved from before.
Hitting the three-pointer in front of Yu Fei gave Jas a huge boost of confidence, more than Barry Bonds got from steroids, he was sure of that.
Those who say he has no skill, just talent, should open their eyes and watch his ga.
Skill wasn’t exclusively Frye Yu’s domain; he had caught up with him!
“Damn, the guy has really developed a long-range shot.” Roy said gleefully, “You’re going to get blown out!”
“Shut up!”
Yu Fei rolled his eyes, then called for the ball.
Roy wasn’t actually happy; Yu Fei was his brother, how could he be happy about his brother getting blown out? If anything, it was excitent, because he had never seen Yu Fei go berserk on the court. The legends of Yu Fei the executioner were sothing he had only heard from others.
Now, he might get a chance to see for himself what a rampaging Yu Fei looked like.
Jas moved up to guard him proactively.
This scene made the entire Quicken Loans Arena erupt in excited roars.
Among these people was Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, sitting in the presidential suite.
Since picking Jas in 2003, people had been waiting for the mont when he would beco “the man.”
Four years on, it was Yu Fei who had beco “the man.”
Jas only showed a sign of this potential in Ga 5 against the Detroit Pistons in the previous season’s Eastern semifinals, and then Yu Fei promptly put him back in his place.
Had he been overrated?
“Did we make a mistake?”
Such questions and unease drifted through the hearts of everyone in the Cavaliers organization.
After the Las Vegas debacle, Jas’s reputation hit rock bottom, and then, until tonight.
Jas had shown the fruits of his training, making a three-pointer over Yu Fei’s head, and then, voluntarily took on the defense against Yu Fei.
This scene was enough to ignite the passion of the ho crowd, and the fans at Quicken Loans Arena were nearly shouting “Long live the King.”
However, when Yu Fei got the ball, he dribbled between his legs with the speed of a streetballer, forcing Jas to choose the wrong direction with an unbearable change of rhythm.
Yu Fei faked left and surged right, coming to a sharp stop on the three-point line, handling the ball in a way that drew Jas to use his historically top-tier reaction and explosiveness to jump.
But when the Emperor reached a height of one ter above the ground, only to find Yu Fei still standing on the floor, he knew his defense had utterly failed.
Yu Fei smoothly stepped back, gathered the ball, and shot a three-pointer as Jas landed.
The bustling Quicken Loans Arena was silent at that mont.
“Swish!!!”
“Frye destroys LeBron’s defense and hits a step-back three-pointer!”
“An elegant combination of skills, perfect timing, the ultimate scoring machine!” Doug Collins completely forgot his duty to remain neutral as a comntator. “Frye is still the unshakable number one player in the world!”
Yu Fei, having broken Jas’s defense, stayed in the frontcourt and said mockingly, “LeBron, why did you dare guard ? Have you forgotten what you’re really good at is running away, not facing up.”
“Enough talk!” Jas’s layered defense was once again shattered by Yu Fei’s trash talk, “I’m going to settle this with you!”
Yu Fei directly applied full-court pressure on Jas, with several fouls involved, but the referees didn’t blow the whistle, as it was a clash between titans, and they were given leeway.
Only when Yu Fei’s ball-stealing motion clearly crossed the referee’s line did the whistle shrilly sound off.
“!#¥!@#¥”
The boos in the arena surged like a tsunami, while Yu Fei mocked with a disdainful attitude, “Settle this? You, a coward who fled in the playoffs, a clown who made a complete fool of himself in Las Vegas, a waste who has achieved nothing from beginning to end, what right do you have to settle anything with ? If there’s anything to settle, it’s for to settle you!”
“I ca here to end your career, you’d better rember my words!”
LeBron Jas was a man of dignity.
At least he once was.
But humans are inherently part of the animal kingdom, and once morals, reason, and judgnt that differentiate us from wild beasts are overwheld by rage, the most primitive instincts explode forth.
Jas, like an enraged gorilla, charged at Yu Fei only to be fiercely pushed away by him, fortunately, teammates from both sides were close enough to stop the physical altercation.
“I swear this is the last ti you talk this bullshit to !!!” Jas yelled, his face red, “This is the last ti, I’m sick of your trash talk!”
Yet Yu Fei mocked him as if watching a monkey show, “I can also swear, this won’t be the last ti you say this kind of tough talk that’s actually softer than your ass!”
The ga was paused for a while as the referees needed to review the video to determine the penalties, while fans continued to support the ho team, hurling obscene curses at Yu Fei.
But no matter how viciously they cursed, it couldn’t calm Jas down.
This incident made people believe the reality of the Las Vegas catastrophe.
“Frye and LeBron used to be as close as brothers, but what’s happening now makes us question whether their friendship ever truly existed,” said ESPN’s Mike Breen, “I guess, for us, it may forever remain a mystery.”
